Re: Tube shock conversion data (score: 1): Author: Chris Attias <cattias@cats.ucsc.edu>; Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2000 10:10:23 -0700; I guess the big question is, do you really want to drive on the track or the street?

Maybe I ask for too much. But I think for such a thing as a suspension system, maybe not. I would be happy with test data for ANY condition. Tra; /html/mgs/2000-06/msg00498.html (11,997 bytes)

I don't think there was any question about being able to feel different amounts of damping.
